If you need an easy place to host your static html marketing website, check out http://www.statichosting.co/ http://www.statichosting.co/. It's $5 a month and you can upload your site via zip file or command line. Disclaimer: it's my service. I'd love to answer any questions you have.

There's a few questions that I had that I'm sure others would have too, but I couldn't find any answers on your site: * What's the maximum upload size? * If I want to change just one file later, do I have to upload my whole site, or can I just upload that one file? * Can I make changes as often as I want?

  I'm not sure what the maximum upload size is set to right now. We can adjust it higher, but our sites aren't very big so we haven't hit the limit. We also have a command line file sync tool without any particular file upload size limitation. If you change just one file, you can upload a whole new zip, or use the command line tool with has a more intelligent sync mechanism. Yes, you can make changes as often as you want. :-)

Do you have any paying customers?

At $5 per month, isn't Firebase (https://www.firebase.com/pricing.html https://www.firebase.com/pricing.html) a better option? Static hosting, CLI deployment, plus the DB itself.

I'm really curious about the niche you're targeting. Let me try to figure it out: people that can code a static page and use a static generator (know markup languages, maybe tempting languages, can use the command line) and people who can't use an FTP app and haven't heard of Git/Github pages. How big is the intersection of these sets of people? I would be surprised if it's more than a handful. I'm not trying to sound pessimistic ... I would be happy, in fact, to know that I'm wrong. So, if I may ask ... do you have more than 0 customers?

    why wouldn't you do it free on github pages?

      I prefer S3 and CloudFront for various reasons, and <$2/month is so close to free that it doesn't matter.
